    Vetoes need to be abolished. But since the veto powers will veto any such motion, the UN is going to stay a toothless tiger.

      the UN is performing as intended. that is, to maintain power for the old super powers and prevent anyone else from complaining too much.

      No, after WW3 we will have the Commonwealth of Concord, just like we had the League of Nations, the Concert of Europe, the Peace of Westphalia… :/

      I propose we switch to preferential voting, rolling the dice or thunderdome for deciding these matters.

      Personally, I would really like to see Trump wielding a chainsaw, but PV is my second choice.

        I’d love to see a bare knuckle fight to the death between Trump and Zelenskyy or pretty much any world leader who’s in reasonably good shape.

        Not necessarily to decide anything, just for shits and giggles 🤷
